Recommendations and guidelines for a common European food waste policy framework

Overview

FUSIONS (Food Use for Social Innovation by Optimising waste preventioN Strategies) is a EU FP7-funded project running from 2012 to 2016, that has the ambition to contribute to achieving a resource efficient Europe by significantly reducing food waste across the supply chain through socially innovative approaches. Based on the findings of the FUSIONS project, six groups of recommendations concerning policies, practices and effective approaches for food waste prevention and reduction in the EU-28, on both European and Member State (MS) level, are suggested. These recommendations and guidelines can support the development and implementation of a common European policy framework for food waste prevention.
